The strategy for the discoverers and entrepreneurs is to rely less on top-down&nbsp;planning and focus on maximum tinkering and recognizing opportunities when they present themselves. So I disagree with the followers of Marx and those of Adam Smith: the reason free markets work is because they allow people to be lucky, thanks to aggressive trial and error, not by giving rewards or "incentives" for skill. The strategy is, then, to tinker as much as possible and try to collect as many Black Swan opportunities&nbsp;as you can.<br /><br />__________<br /><br />What I call Platonicity, after the ideas (and personality) of the philosopher Plato, is our tendency to mistake the map for the territory, to focus on pure and well-defined "forms," whether objects, like triangles, or social notions, like Utopias (societies built according to some blueprint of what "makes sense"), even nationalities. When these ideas and crisp constructs inhabit our minds, we privilege them over other less elegant objects, those with messier and less tractable structures (an idea that I will elaborate progressively throughout this book).<br /><br />Platonicity is what makes us think that we understand more than we &nbsp;actually do. But this does not happen everywhere. I am not saying that Platonic forms don't exist. Models and constructions, these intellectual<br />maps of reality, are not always wrong; they are wrong only in some specific applications. The difficulty is that a) you do not know beforehand (only after the fact) where the map will be wrong, and b) the mistakes can lead to severe consequences. These models are like potentially helpful medicines that carry random but very severe side effects.<br />_________________<br /><br /><br />Note that I am not relying in this book on the beastly method of collecting<br />selective "corroborating evidence." For reasons I explain in Chapter<br />5, I call this overload of examples naïve empiricism—successions of<br />anecdotes selected to fit a story do not constitute evidence. Anyone looking<br />for confirmation will find enough of it to deceive himself—and no<br />doubt his peers.* The Black Swan idea is based on the structure of randomness<br />in empirical reality.<br /><br /><br />*It is also naïve empiricism to provide, in support of some argument, series of eloquent<br />confirmatory quotes by dead authorities. By searching, you can always find<br />someone who made a well-sounding statement that confirms your point of view—<br />and, on every topic, it is possible to find another dead thinker who said the exact<br />opposite. Almost all of my non-Yogi Berra quotes are from people I disagree with.<br /><br />______________________________-<br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="feedflare">

Plus 2 cardo spots a week. I think these will be done at the gym during the day and I'll swim at night.<br /><br />Either way the total immersion type swimming is amazing. I'd recommend the new dvd to anyone looking to learn to swim better. Also if you live in evanston and want to learn to swim definetly see Craig Strong at the YMCA. He has been a great teacher.<div class="feedflare">

Lewis<br /><br />Looking it up I find that it's in Mere Christianity. Which I find a bit funny as I don't like apologetics much. Here is the excerpt:<br /><br /><blockquote>The principle runs through all life from top to bottom. Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorites wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit with every fibre of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in. </blockquote><div class="feedflare">
